Not only that, he was a MD who knew precisely where and how to hit his victim to do the most damage and carried it out by charging down a 60 yard slope to deliver a total sucker tackle that easily could have killed or crippled Senator Paul. There was just about as much malice and premeditation in that attack as there was in the shooting of Steve Scalise.
You are correct. In this case he used his body as a weapon and did great physical harm to Senator Paul.
This violent attacker got a slap on the wrist by a POS partisan liberal judge. She should be booted off of the bench and do all the time that she did not sentence him to.
